How to Get Ready to Speak English Preparing Your Mind

hi i’m vanessa from speak english with

vanessa calm oh are you ready let’s get

started

if you’ve been having a really busy day

you get home from work and you realize I

haven’t used English today but my brain

is so tired how can I get energy to wake

up my brain and do something with

English watch a TV show challenge my

brain read something watch one of

Vanessa’s videos what can I do to help

my brain wake up well today I have an

interesting exercise just something

simple that you can do to help your

brain get ready to learn English this is

something that I do every morning

something quite simple it only takes a

couple seconds but it will help your

body to start to feel more awake feel a

little more energized and it will help

your brain to get ready for English so

what is this thing that you can do well

it is move and stretch there’s something

simple that you can do right now with me

in fact I did it at the beginning of

this video it is put your hands high in

the air and pretend like you are in

elementary school and the teacher says

try to touch the sky oh it seems silly

but when you stretch like this your

muscles and your body is moving in a

different way than how you’ve been

moving throughout the day unless you do

this a lot at work probably not so this

is moving your muscles in a different

way or you can move your head around in

a circle like this a couple times

carefully and gently don’t hurt your

neck carefully turn your nose in a

circle

or you can lift up one leg and then the

other leg lift up one leg then the other

just basic movements for a couple

seconds it’s not gonna help you to lose

weight or become Olympic athlete but

it’s slowly working your body to feel

more energized and this is something

really simple that I do every morning

after I wake up when I wake up usually I

don’t feel that energized when I wake up

I stand up and immediately put my hands

in the air sometimes I scream a little

bit if it helps up and it helps my body

that’s been sitting or sleeping in the

same position it helps me to start to

awaken my muscles and awaken my brain

because that’s something that we need to

use every day maybe you don’t need to

use your body’s muscles all the time at

work or at home but we need to use our

brains and they’re connected your body

and brain are connected I’m certainly

not a doctor but we can be certain that

if your physical body feels good your

brain will be active and healthy too so

I have a challenge for you no matter

what country you’re in right now maybe

you’re in the Philippines maybe you’re

in Russia maybe you’re in the u.s. I

challenge you to do this quick exercise

with me and it’s gonna help just for a

moment help you to move your body and

muscles in a different way and start to

prepare your mind to use English are you

ready first we’re gonna lift our hands

in the air and stretch maybe you even go

on your toes a little bit stretching up

and then moving your neck in a circle

then the other way

lifting one leg then the other then back

then the next simple it took a couple

seconds but if you do this every time

before you start to study English you

will be on the right path every time

before you start watching English TV or

before you start watching one of these

videos or speaking in English with a

native speaker with a friend this will

help you just to awaken your mind awake

in your body you can do it thanks so
